Kazakevich: politicization of law enforcement by the West undermines trust and quality of cooperation

Deputy Minister of the Interior and Chief of the Criminal Police Gennady Kazakevich took part in the XV UN Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, which takes place in Abu Dhabi. This was reported in the press service of the interior Ministry, writes sb.by.

A number of topical issues are discussed at the forum. Among them are support for innovative prevention strategies for crime prevention, the formation of socially oriented criminal justice systems in the context of constant world changes, the fight against organized crime and terrorism in all manifestations, increasing the effectiveness of interaction and international cooperation.

In his report, Gennady Kazakevich emphasized:

- Multinational organized groups actively use cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence tools, making illegal schemes mobile and less dependent on borders. The Internet has become a platform for cyber fraud, drug trafficking, human trafficking and extremism. An effective response to these challenges requires joint action. At the same time, it is important to understand that the use of law enforcement by Western countries for political purposes undermines trust and the quality of cooperation.

Belarus is actively promoting international initiatives in these areas, in particular in combating human trafficking. Since 2005, when the President of our country outlined the relevant issues at the UN Summit, a number of anti-trafficking resolutions have been adopted at the UN, the last of which, put forward jointly with Kazakhstan, was adopted in June 2026. We continue to actively engage in countering global threats, promoting information sharing and strengthening international cooperation.

Hennadiy Kazakevich also stressed the need to expand the capacity of law enforcement agencies to collect, process and analyze data to predict new challenges and curb sources of crime financing.

Within the framework of the congress, the Belarusian delegation will participate in the thematic event “Countering the politicization of international legal cooperation”, organized by Russian colleagues.
